The property was in a nice location however there was no wifi and very little reception therefore could not use the stereo Bluetooth and there was an old stereo which we could not work out. There was no instructions on how to use it. As there was no wifi we didn’t have full use of the tv either as needed wifi to stream utube etc. The property advertised a bbq in its pictures and facilities of the advertisement. We were planning on having a bbq the first night but there was no bbq to be found. The spa advertised is an outside bath which you are required to heat with wood. Not a spa like one expects. Cleanliness of the property was reasonable, could do with some more pots and pans. There was a dirty frypan that needed a good clean before using and really only one decent pot to cook with. I feel the advertisement needs to be updated so visitors know what to expect and maybe some instructions on use of the facilities like the stereo.

Great place to enjoy your West Coast holiday

Excellent holiday home, everything there you’d ever want, and clean and tidy. Expansive lawns and garden make this a great place to relax. Nice beach about 2km down the road.

Awesome place to escape to from the hussle and bustle. Everything we needed was provided for and extra. Comfy and cosy place which was a great base to access the beautiful Westland. Only did two night but would love to return and do a longer stay.
